The answer to this week's contest is a two-word phrase.

Good luck with the meta and the grid.

Solved!

Onshore.

On shore, even though I'm still backsolving one of the pieces....

Edited to add: I was desperate to get onto the first page; my claim of solving above is correct, and now I figured out that missing piece, so I'm 100% sure. This one made me sweat a bit, and it has the even-more-dreaded pairs of numbers in parentheses.

On shore, remembering the real maitais of last weekend. Sniff.

On the beach. Nice to be on page one! Sipping my margarita.

I am onshore

I believe I have the answer. OK, I'm 75% sure, but I've submitted it!

Update at 5:06: 100% sure now! And, it's 'Tini Time!

Guinness me. As usual, a great puzzle by Matt.

On shore. Nice construction here.
Now back to the current MEOW, whose final step has so far eluded me.

On shore. An enjoyable puzzle from Matt.

Solved

Basking on the beach. Why yes, I’d love a Guinness! Ahhhhhh… Hello darkness, my old friend.

Ashore.

On the beach. Very good puzzle this week!

Made it to shore with some difficulty! A very satisfying solve.

Ashore!

Guinness? Negroni? No ... I’m thinking ...

Methode champenoise!

Ashore. but am I on P. 1?
I think I had the same problem that San (not Sam) Milton (not Hamilton) had finding the last 25%.

Still swimming in circles. Curious to which beach this is? Thank you.
